INTRODUCTION
The most important goal of science education is to teach students how to become
involved in the investigation and allow individuals to use science process skills (Aktamis, H., &
Ergin, 2008). In the step of science investigation activities available space for teachers to develop
a scientific attitude (Hendracipta, 2016). By studying science students are expected to have
knowledge, attitudes, skills, ideas and concepts that are organized about the natural environment
more deeply, gained from experience through a series of scientific inquiry process.
Developing a school curriculum is crucial to improving the science process skills,
improving science process skills in science education are still a problem in the school curriculum
(Ergul, R., Simsekli, Y., Calis, S., Ozdilek, Z., Gocmencelebi, S., & Sanli, 2011). Studies around
the world have revealed an important issue of increasing the percentage of students who are not
interested in science. Many students, especially women, have negative feelings and attitudes
toward science, which prevent them from continuing with scientific inquiry (Hacieminoglu,
2016). From the study, the idea that traditional teaching and more reliance on textbooks could
be responsible for the increase in students' negative attitudes about science (Hacieminoglu et al,
2009) and teachers do not teach about science process skills first and do not encourage students
to seek (Ergul, R., Simsekli, Y., Calis, S., Ozdilek, Z., Gocmencelebi, S., & Sanli, 2011). This
condition shows that science learning process in primary school is still done conventionally. The
role of the teacher has not fully implemented the learning actively and creatively in involving
the students and not yet using the approach/learning strategy that varies based on the character
of the subject (Susanto, 2012).
The results of observations of science learning in Purwoyoso State Elementary School 02
and 03 Semarang in the second semester of 2016-2017 learning year, showed that in general
students only listened to the subject matter and did the assignments given by the teacher. In the
learning process students become passive and natural science learning becomes less optimal.
When the teacher asks questions, most students are busy chatting with their friends, not paying
attention to the teacher and some even look sleepy during the learning process. In the lecture
process, the teacher has not been able to optimize the process skills and scientific attitude
because students do not conduct scientific experiments. The scientific attitude that arises in this
learning is only the aspect of curiosity by asking the teacher. In grade 5 SDN Purwoyoso 02 city
of Semarang, of 64 students who asked the teacher only 21.9% or 14 students and in grade 5
SDN Purwoyoso 03 city of Semarang, out of 105 students who asked the teacher only 24.8%
or 26 students. The science process skills that appear are only aspects of predicting answers to
teacher questions based on student experience or based on books. In class 5 SDN Purwoyoso
02 city of Semarang, of 64 students who predicted answers to only 25% or 16 students and in
grade 5 SDN Purwoyoso 03 city of Semarang, out of 105 students who predicted answers to
only 27.6% or 29 students. Scientific attitudes and science process skills in conducting

experiments have not yet been seen and cannot be measured optimally because learning is still
dominated by teachers and much depends on textbooks. Things that occur in this learning are
not in accordance with the learning objectives which include the development of the realm of
attitudes, knowledge, and skills that are elaborated for each education unit (Permendikbud,
2016). Learning will be more meaningful when teachers invite students to discover concepts
learned through scientific processes.
Inquiry is defined as a very effective teaching approach and method that helps students
to understand concepts and use process skills (Ergul, R., Simsekli, Y., Calis, S., Ozdilek, Z.,
Gocmencelebi, S., & Sanli, 2011). Each step of inquiry-based learning activities must contain
elements of activities to foster scientific attitudes which include objective/honest, unhurried,
open, not confusing facts with opinions, caution, investigative attitudes or high curiosity
(Hendracipta, 2016). In inquiry-based learning, teachers are seen as learning facilitators and not
a container of knowledge. Therefore the work of teachers in the inquiry environment is not to
provide knowledge, but to assist students throughout the process of discovering their own
knowledge (Aceska, 2016).
Inquiry learning has four categories: demonstration inquiry, structured inquiry, guided
inquiry, and independent inquiry. Students at the elementary school level of the high class need
a lot of guidance and direction because they are not accustomed to conducting inquiry learning
so what primary schools can apply is structured inquiry and guided inquiry. Structured inquiry
learning and guided inquiry have similarities in terms of involving students in the learning
process so that they are able to develop students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor
(Sudaryanti, 2015). However, the two types of inquiry learning have differences in terms of
teacher involvement in the learning process. With the difference in teacher involvement in the
learning process it is possible that it will affect the learning outcomes obtained by students. On
the other hand, the teacher does not have experience in comparing the two inquiry learning so
empirical evidence is needed to prove which is better than the two inquiry learning.
Inquiry-based learning has several advantages. The advantages contained in inquiry
learning are 1) developing cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects in a balanced manner;
2) give space to students to learn according to their learning style; 3) in accordance with the
development of modern psychology which considers learning to be a process of behavior
change thanks to experience; and 4) can serve the needs of students above the average, meaning
that students who have good learning abilities will not be hampered by students who are weak
in learning (Sanjaya, 2009).
Besides having advantages, inquiry learning certainly has weaknesses or obstacles in its
application. Barriers that can occur in carrying out inquiry learning include 1) lack of time; 2)
confusion in conducting inquiry; and 3) little design in the given task. Some things teachers can

do to overcome this are: 1) the group teaching approach; 2) using constructivism views in
learning; and 3) increasing competence in designing and implementing inquiry (Kuhlthau, 2003).
To involve students in the learning process so as to be able to develop a variety of skills
both mastery of concepts, scientific attitudes, and science process skills of students in science
learning so that the desired learning outcomes have increased it requires structured and guided
inquiry-based learning. After applying structured and guided inquiry-based learning, it is
necessary to know which is better in improving students' mastery of concepts, scientific
attitudes, and science process skills.
Based on the above problems, it can be formulated this research problem as follows:
(1) How is the influence of mastery of concept, scientific attitude, and science process skill of
grade V SD students in structured inquiry learning? (2) How does the influence of mastery of
concept, scientific attitude, and science process skill of students in grade V SD in guided inquiry
learning? (3) Is there a difference in the mastery of concepts, scientific attitude and science
process skills among grade V SD students learning to use structured inquiry learning with guided
inquiry learning?
METHODS
This research is quantitative in the form of experimental quasy with pretest-postest
comparison group design. There were two class groups, the first experimental group using a
structured inquiry learning model and a second experimental group using guided inquiry. The
research was conducted in SDN Purwoyoso 02 and 03 with the population of all students of
class V SDN Purwoyoso 02 and Purwoyoso 03 Ngaliyan district, Semarang city. Form of
sampling using purposive sampling that is taking samples with certain consideration. The sample
in this research is the students of VA SDN Purwoyoso 02 class of 31 students, VB class
amounted to 33 students and students of VA SDN Purwoyoso 03 class amounted to 36
students, VB class amounted to 35 students. The total sample is 135 students.
Techniques for data collection in this study are as follows: (1) pre-test concept mastery
before using structured and guided inquiry learning, (2) observing scientific attitudes and
students' science process skills during the learning process taking place in the experimental class
that uses structured and guided inquiry learning, (3) post-test mastery of concepts after using
structured and guided inquiry learning.
Data collection instruments used in this study were tests and non-tests. The test used
in the form of multiple choice questions mastered the concept of light material properties with
20 items that have been validated. Non-tests are used in the form of a scientific attitude
observation sheet with five indicators namely curiosity, caution, honesty, persistence and
openness. Observation sheet non-test science process skills with five indicators namely
conducting experiments, observing, predicting, inferring and communicating.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Mastery of Concepts
Ability to master the concept of students obtained from pretest and post-test learning
science. The results of concept mastering tests on structured and guided inquiry classes each
gained significant improvement. Based on the pretest result, the structured and guided inquiry
class is relatively the same. It is seen from the acquisition of master test results of student
concepts before learning to use structured and guided inquiry. Postest results show differences,
it is seen from the acquisition of test results after learning using structured and guided inquiry.
The results of the concept of mastering the concept of structured and guided inquiry students
are presented in graph 1.
Graph 1. Results of Pretest and Posttest Mastery Concepts Structured and Guided
Inquiry Classes
Based on the above table, the mastery of the concept of inquired structured and guided
experienced a significant increase. This is because inquiry-based learning has a positive impact
on conceptual understanding (Şimşek, P., & Kabapınar, 2010), which involves a student
centered process, students are given the opportunity to be actively involved in learning both
mentally, intellectually, and socially emotional (Hermawati, 2012). As a subject of learning,
students can optimize cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects equally (Sanjaya, 2009)
through a process of inquiry and discovery. Investigation-based activities increase student
motivation because inquiry gives students the freedom to make their choices, gives them the
opportunity to make self-arrangements and to take part in it (Bayram, Z., Oskay, Ö. Ö., Erdem,
E., Özgür, S. D., & Şen, 2013). Inquiry-based learning can stimulate students 'motivation, apply
student research skills, construct meaning and acquire scientific knowledge (Suduc, A. M., Bizoi,
M., & Gorghiu, 2015) so it has an impact on the mastery of student concepts.
The model of the study of mercury is very effective in improving the mastery of student
concepts (Prasetyowati, E. N., & Suyatno, 2016). This is supported by Budiman's research
(2017) indicates that the improvement of conceptual mastery in inquiry model is greater than
the increase of mastery in conventional learning model. Learning with guided inquiry

experiments can improve the mastery of student concepts, this is because when doing the
inquiry students can optimize the process of reconstruction of knowledge and understanding
of a material (Praptiwi, L., Sarwi, & Handayani, 2012).
Based on the pretest and posttest gain analysis the concept of structured inquiry class
gets a gain value of 0.52; while the pretest and posttest gain analysis mastery of guided inquiry
concept obtained a gain value of 0.68. From each experimental class, the gain is in the medium
category. Based on the results obtained post-test, there are differences in the average results of
mastery of the concept of inquiry learning structured and guided, the following presented the
results of differences test using independent samples t-test in table 1.

Based on the independent samples test t-test the mastery of the concept of structured
inquired class and guided to obtain the level of significance 0.000 <0.05, then H0 rejected. This
suggests that the mastery data of structured and guided inquiry class concepts has significant
differences.
Structured inquiry learning, and guided inquiry, can both increase students' posttest scores
in terms of mastery of concepts. However, the average mastery of the inquiry concept of the
inquiry is higher than the structured inquiry class, because in guided inquiry, the teacher presents
the question, the student investigates using the design/procedure chosen by the student (Bell et
al 2005), the design/procedure in question namely methods and solutions so that students can
independently determine the procedures they will use that impact on their involvement in
finding the concepts learned. Whereas in structured inquiry learning students are involved in
hands-on activity or laboratory work, collecting data, and drawing conclusions but referring to
the steps teachers have made, which makes the students constrained by procedures that have
been made so that students are less than optimal in finding the concepts learned.

This is supported by Rahayu's research which states that there are significant differences
in effectiveness on mastery of the concept of the classroom approach of guided inquiry and
structured inquiry (Rahayu, 2016). The ability of mastery of the concept of guided inquiry class
is higher than the structured inquiry class. Based on the test gain and independent samples t-
test above, it can be concluded that the learning model structured inquiry and guided both can
increase the mastery of the concept of students but have differences in improvement. Learning
with inquiry is better guided in improving the mastery of student concepts rather than structured
inquiry.
Scientific Attitude
The scientific attitude data is obtained from the observer observations made at each
meeting in structured and guided inquiry learning. There are five indicators of scientific attitude
that must be observed, namely curiosity, caution, diligence, honest and open. The observational
data of scientific attitudes of each indicator are presented in table 2

Scientific attitudes in structured inquiry get well-categorized average on each indicator,
whereas for guided scientific attitudes get a very good category average on curiosity and caution
indicators, for other indicators to get a good category. This suggests that inquiry learning is
structured and guided can make students' scientific attitude good. To see the improvement of
scientific attitude, the following presented the scientific attitudes of each meeting in Table 3.

Based on the data in the table above, students' scientific attitude has increased at each
meeting. scientific attitudes to structured and guided inquiry classes each have significant
improvements, this is because students have high curiosity, can make decisions, develop a desire
to seek answers, approach problems with open minds, practice problem-solving, objectives
(Development, 2014), so students are not only studying a collection of knowledge in the form
of facts, concepts or principles, but also studying the process of discovery itself in fostering a
scientific attitude (Hendracipta, 2016).
This is supported by the results of research Uswatun and Rohaeti (2015: 148) showed
that there is increasing scientific attitude of students on inquiry learning. Students who
experience inquiry learning perform better than traditional methods and statistical analysis also
shows that inquiry methods are effective for the development of scientific attitudes (Khan A,
S., Shah, A., Makhdoom, S., Mahmood, Z., & Zareen, 2012). Students can gain a more
meaningful and stronger experience attached to their minds (Dewi, N. L., Dantes, N., & Sadia,
2013) thereby positively impacting students' scientific attitudes.
Based on the gain analysis the scientific attitude of the structured inquiry class gained a
gain of 0.55; while the scientific attitude of the guided inquiry class gained a gain of 0.64.
Structured and guided inquiry gain analysis uses the average value of scientific attitudes at first
and sixth meetings. From both experiment classes, the gain is in the moderate category. Judging
from the final result of scientific attitude, there is difference in the average result of scientific
attitude of structured and guided inquiry study, the following is presented difference test result
using independent samples t-test in table 3.

guided inquiry classes. this is because in guided inquiry, the teacher presents the question, the

student investigates using the design/procedure chosen by the student (Bell, R. L., Smetana, L.,
& Binns, 2005), the design/procedure in question is the method and the solution so that the
students can independently determine the procedures they will use that impact on their
involvement in building a scientific attitude in their experiments. Whereas in structured inquiry
learning students are involved in hands-on activity or laboratory work, collecting data, and
drawing conclusions but referring to the steps teachers have made, which makes the students
constrained by procedures that have been made so students are less than optimal in building a
scientific attitude in their experiments.
This is supported by the research of Bunterm et. al (Bunterm, T., Lee, K., Ng Lan
Kong, J., Srikoon, S., Vangpoomyai, P., Rattanavongsa, J., & Rachahoon, 2014) that the
scientific attitude in the structured inquiry group is still showing improvement. Students in
guided inquiry groups showed greater improvement compared to structured inquiry groups.
This is possible because students in guided inquiry groups have more opportunities to engage
in the scientific process. Based on the gain test and the independent sample t-test, it can be
concluded that the structured and joint guided inquiry learning model can improve students'
scientific attitudes but have different improvements. Learning with inquiry is better structured
in enhancing scientific attitude than structured inquiry.
Science Process Skill
Science process skills data were obtained from observer observations carried out at
each meeting in structured and guided inquiry learning. There are five indicators of science
process skills that should be observed: experiment, observation, prediction, conclusion and
communication. Data on observations of the skills of the scientific process are presented in

that inquiry learning is structured and guided can make students' science process skills good. To
see the improvement of the science process skills, the following presented the scientific attitudes
of each meeting in table 6.

2 Guided Inquiry 48,18 58,04 60,50 67,89 73,18 82,17
Based on the data in the table above, students' science process skills have improved at
each meeting. students' science process skills in structured and guided inquiry classes each have
significant improvements. This is because the activities in inquiry are embedded with steps that
must use the skills of the science process, inquiry provides more opportunities for students to
seek and find their own facts, concepts and principles through direct experience so that the
learning process becomes more optimal (Rizal, 2014). Students no longer sit listening to the
material or explanation from the teacher, but the students are directly involved in the learning
process they can develop the skills they have.
This is supported by Hartati et. al learning model 5E learning cycle and structured inquiry
have the same potential in improving the science process skills and students' cognitive learning
outcomes (Hartati, T. A. W., Corebima, A. D., & Suwono, 2015). This is in line with the study
of Maikristina et. al that the skills of students' science processes that are learned using guided
inquiry learning models have better achievement than students who are taught using problem
solving model (Maikristina, N., Dasna, I. W., & Sulistina, 2013).
For gain analysis of science process skill of structured and guided class students used
the average value of students' science process skill at the first and sixth meeting, the skill of
structured inquiry class science process gets gain 0,54; while the inquiry science skills of the
inquiry student class gain a gain of 0.67. From each experimental class the gain is in the moderate
category. There is difference of result of learning skill of inquiry study of structured and guided
inquiry, the following is presented difference test result using independent samples t-test in table

Based on the above table, the data of science process skill gained significance level 0,001
<0,05. This shows that there is a difference in the science process skill between structured and
guided inquiry classes. This is caused because in guided inquiry class, the students are more
stimulated to think in determining the research procedure independently, determining the
variable, and formulating the hypothesis (Rahayu, 2016). These activities can increase students'
enthusiasm and skills in carrying out activities so that students are accustomed to making science
learning easier, actively learning, using a sense of responsibility in their own learning, improving
learning decisions, and teaching research methods. Whereas in structured inquiry classes
students conduct investigations through procedures established by teachers (Bell, R. L.,
Smetana, L., & Binns, 2005), so that students feel constrained by existing procedures that make
students less optimal in enhancing their enthusiasm and skill in trial activities.
This is in line with Sudaryanti's study which states that there are significant differences
in science process skills between classes using structured inquiry approaches and classes using
guided inquiry (Sudaryanti, 2015). Rahayu states that there is a significant difference between
the effectiveness of learning with guided inquiry approach and structured inquiry to the students'
scientific skill ability (Rahayu, 2016). Based on the gain test and the independent sample t-test
above, it can be concluded that structured and guided inquiry learning models can improve
students' science process skills but have different improvements. Learning with inquiry is better
